Students (mostly coeds) will probably recall when, as students at MSC, these hearty Engineers roamed MSC and surrounding territory, and many a heart flut-tered when these soldiers of for-tune were relieved of their duties here and were sent on a more dangerous and trying mission: The Battle of Swamp Despair as it is often called.

Recent communiques from the AP correspondent "Bill" Dryden, who furnished info for the Ex-ponent, states tha t Oregon women can't hold a candle to the MSC. coeds, that the going is tough, and that everyone is in there fighting: either their 1st Sergeants, the sick book, or homesickness for Montana State.

Will Women Be Called Draft Dodgers?

War has brought an unprecedented challenge to e,·ery woman in college and university.

Approximately 17.000 women are now in the Army and NaYy-the authorized strength of women in other· uniformed sen•ices in the armed forces is 161,000; and over f>,000,000 additional women are needed by industry.

And college women go on, as usual. Too many of them are s till majoring in the arts and in the himtanities. which are vital in the total cultural pattern a nd will need to be preserved when the war is won. However, that war is not yet won and in the meantime, women will be needed who ba-ve a knowledge of ciences. mathematics. and social ciences. Ferr, women will be asked to enter ome form of war senice-social ervice fields, nursing.

teaching. industry, or armed forces.

Although many of the nation's leaders belie, e that wo-men should not be "wasting" four whole year~ in college when they can get some t~·pes of accelerated education p1 ... gram and then enter the services or industry sooner. However, aren't there many women in America who have not had the opportunity to attend college at anytime who can carry on the e emergency duties under the present college graduates while more· of these graduates are being turned out to add to the leaders and the workers?

However. many of these girls going through schO'Ol might be doing it just to pass the time and it is evident. If they should stop lo realize that mos t of the men they know are in the armed forces and are lh·ing under a rigid schedule of work. exercise. and rest. and that she loo s hould be playing the game by rules of good sportsman-

hip if she requires the same discipline herself. They al o fail to realize that they too will be part of the la.rge recon-struction program which will be the big issue aftel' this war and they will need lo be equip9ed for that.

Others say that they won't go into the sen:ice uecause they know of other war work just as vital which they can be doing. That is ,·ery true, but how many are doing it. of those who speak? If they are, more power to them and may there be more.

So, it comes to this: where are these fields ancl what vocational training should women ha.\'e? And thi · is the answer: The Nation needs: Pl1ysicians. dieticians, nurse1 available facilities, limited now by wartime
